Imperial IPA 8.5 º

Bluejacket

This celebratory Double IPA radiates with the intense character of Galaxy hops, delivering a saturated profile of passion fruit, peach, and citrus zest. A substantial 8.5% ABV is deftly integrated, providing structural support without distracting heat, while the double dry-hopping process ensures an explosive aromatic presence from start to finish. The palate is defined by a distinctively creamy softness, balancing the high hop saturation with a lush, rounded texture. While traditional Double IPA attributes provide the framework, the focus remains on the vivid, juicy tropical fruit expressions and a clean, supportive malt base that allows the specific nuances of the Galaxy variety to shine through.

Appearance. Deep gold to pale orange (7–9 SRM) with a slight haze from the double dry-hopping process. Pours with a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by Galaxy-driven notes of ripe passion fruit, pineapple, and guava. Background notes of citrus peel and resin. Malt is neutral and clean, providing a faint grainy sweetness. Clean fermentation profile with a hint of smooth, well-integrated alcohol.

Taste. The initial impression is a massive wave of tropical fruit flavors, specifically peach and mango. Bitterness is firm and assertive but lacks harshness, balanced by a soft, unobtrusive malt backbone. The finish is medium-dry, leaving a lingering and pleasant impression of citrus oils and tropical fruit esters.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a notable creamy softness on the palate. Carbonation is moderate. Alcohol provides a restrained, smooth warmth typical of its strength. No hop-derived astringency is present.
